Programme content

In the first year, particular emphasis is placed on teamwork, presentation skills, information technology, business methods and foreign language acquisition. The first two semesters also cover the functional areas of business (economics, logistics marketing, accounting, etc.).

The third semester is almost exclusively designed to cover the international aspects of the functional areas of business: accounting, economics, finance, business law, tax, and marketing. Information technology skills and foreign language acquisition are further emphasised.

In the fourth or fifth semester, students work as interns either abroad or in an international function at a German company of their choice. Graduates are often employed at the same organisations where they have done their internships. Also in the fourth or fifth semester, students have the opportunity to widen their academic horizon at a foreign university. In addition to European universities, Deggendorf has partnership programmes with universities all around the globe including Hong Kong, Buenos Aires and San Diego.

In the final two semesters, students take capstone seminars and case-study courses in the areas of international management, finance, economics and managing across cultures.
